@deltago some folks place a higher value on life than a simple gem bag, even a gem bag with a free potion of invisibility...

(then again, I never did find the stomach for a proper evil play through)

But, you are actually doing the world a favour. She is an extremely dangerous mage. . . dropping cows everywhere and making gold disappear. Think of the economy! think of the livestock! Giving the girl a quick and painless death is the least evil thing you can do.

Nice try @deltago you almost sold me! But given how we know about the magic cattle rustler when first we meet, I should murder-death-kill every random damsel-in-distress who appeals to me for aid - and then where am I going to find my fat quest XP awards?

In my last playthrough, Neera made the choice for me. On her first spell cast during the fight against the red wizards, she got a wild surge that gated-in a Pit Fiend who proceeded to slaughter everyone nearby. Fortunately, it was in LoB mode, so I managed to run to safety while it whittled-down the NPCs and hide until it unsummoned.
